The pages aren't accounted at the root level, so we cannot uncharge the
page to the memsw counter for the root memcg. Fix this.

The patch is correct but I do wonder whether this matters much in the
end. We shouldn't really rely on a correct page counter for the root
memcg AFAICS in the kernel. We do not display the value
(mem_cgroup_usage) so there shouldn't be any actual problem. Unless I am
missing something make sure to spell that out in the changelog.

I am very sorry. I should repent. I suddenly realise the fix is totally
wrong. Because the @memcg cannot be root memcg when
@memcg != @swap_memcg. Please ignore this patch. I am very
sorry for the noise. And sorry to Michal.

I am probably blind but I do not see why this would be the case.
We have memcg != swap_memcg in this branch but we do not know the
neither of the two is root_mem_cgroup, no? If we did knot that we
wouldn't have to check for swap_memcg != root_mem_cgroup. Or do I miss
something?

I look at the mem_cgroup_id_get_online() closely. If memcg is root, this
function always returns root memcg. So memcg will equal swap_memcg.
I apologize for not carefully reviewing the code myself.
Thanks.

Ahh, I can see it now. I have completely missed that the swap_memcg is
a parent of an offline memcg. I should have looked more closely.
